Community Workfare
Community Workfare includes unpaid work a person performs at a not for profit organization, such as a school, church, or a government agency that has an agreement with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS).
The individual chooses their own placement with an approved organization/agency, with input from the worker. Community Workfare provides a person with employment skills and references that can help them get a job.
